I’ve been placed on a no wheat/rice/corn diet. I like bread VERY much. This is sprouted Rye, which gives me bread without flour. An acquired taste, better if toasted.I love this bread, it is very healthy and deliciousOrdered a few times, always comes packaged well and never damaged. Freezes really well, we take out one loaf at a time and leave in the fridge in a zip lock bag. Thin slices. Nice toasted with just about any topping. Malty and slightly tart tasting, like good rye should be.Great bread, especially with soup.Flavor: I happen to like the savory, faintly vinegary sourdough rye flavor, tho it may not be to everyone's taste.Texture: Dense, coarse, somewhat crumbly, especially round the edges, because of the whole rye grains included.Size: A slice is approximately 6 5/8 x 3 3/4 x 3/8. inches. Each packet contains 7 slices.This is the third time I've ordered 6 packets at once. They arrived near the end of July 2018 with expiration dates of June 6, 2019. I've easily made 6 packets last 6 months or more because I'm restricting carbs in my diet, but want to have some bread on hand when I get a craving for some. This is more nutritious than bread made with white flour, has more fiber and doesn't go moldy, which makes it suitable for having only the occasional slice. I like it spread with hummus or guacamole or as an open-faced sandwich with something like egg salad or tuna-mayo-capers or mayo-cucumber slices, or Dusseldorf mustard and sharp cheddar cheese melted in the microwave. I generally slice the bread crosswise into 4 fingers after topping it with something, to minimize the likelihood that it might break while I'm eating it -- it's just easier to eat that way because the slices are so large. As recommended, I put the remaining slices into (zip lock type quart size) plastic bags (3 per bag) and keep them in the refrigerator until I want another one. It helps to separate them gently with a table knife first. I haven't tried toasting this bread because the slices are too long to fit into my toaster and even if I halved them, I think they'd leave too many crumbs at the bottom. That's probably its only downside for me. I daresay one could make a good Reuben sandwich with it, although it would be a rather heavy sandwich. Its flavor wouldn't be suitable for PB&J or other sweet fillings.I think it would be too likely to break apart on irregular fillings like a BLT. For a two slice sandwich I think it would really need something that would hold the bread together, like cheese or liverwurst that's spread, not sliced, and the filling would need to be relatively thin -- not thick in the middle like a deli sandwich. It's a good, honest, respectable bread whose flavor hasn't been tweaked to make a person's taste buds want to eat the entire packet at one go, the way snack foods are, which is something I'm grateful for! One does need to handle a single slice somewhat carefully to avoid breaking it -- don't bend it.Gives you a good full feeling when you eat it. Has a nice long shelf life both in and out of the fridge.I learned of this bread in Germany (of course) :-) When we lived in Spain I could buy it from the shelf at the grocery stores. It was hard to find when we moved back to the states. Now I just order for both my husband and me. He likes pumpernickel and I like the rye. Thank you, Amazon.Had been looking for a good European style bread like my mother-in-law used to bake. This is close to her style of bread and very tasty. It is a dense heavy rye bread which I was looking for. Great for sandwiches. I make a single slice open faced sandwich. The bread is very nutritious in my opinion and very flavorful. I will order this bread again.
